V-Line Surgery

Overview

V-line surgery reshapes the jaw and chin into a slim, tapered “V” by contouring the jawline and, often, a chin (genioplasty) component.

Methods & types

• Jawline ostectomy with a tapering cut
• Chin narrowing/advancement
• Sometimes with cortical bone reduction

Who it’s for

• Wide or square lower face
• Wanting a slim, tapered jaw
• Often combined with cheekbone reduction

Recovery

• Swelling for 3–4 weeks
• Soft diet and rest early
• Final V-line over 3–6 months

Approximate cost

USD 6,000–11,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Complex bone surgery — surgeon experience is critical
• Nerve care is important around the jaw
